Add that to Mowgli’s other successes: Jungle Book is the highest grossing Hollywood release ever in India($36.8M) as well as the third-highest grossing Disney release ever in China with $148.2M.

Domestically, The Jungle Book will push past the $300M mark this weekend. As it currently stands, it has cumed $294M stateside after pulling in another $1.39M last night. Internationally, its cume is $501M and globally $795M.
